Hard on the heels of the inflated Stop and Search figures issue here is another :-
http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/crime-c...-on-li.23950843"POLICE are targeting motorists who have moved into new housing estates and catching them with an old address on their driving licence, according to sources close to Scotland's new single force.
A massive 300% increase in the offence - which can attract a fine of up to £1000 - has been recorded since Police Scotland came into being last year.
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said the practice was "unfair and unreasonable".
The Sunday Herald recently revealed allegations that Police Scotland's target culture was affecting the behaviour of officers.
Former officers said bogus stop and searches were being entered into the computerised system to boost the overall figures. Police Scotland said more than 500,000 searches were recorded in the first nine months of the new force.
Road safety and reducing road crime is a key priority, but insiders have also expressed concern about what they believe is unfair targeting of motorists."
